CHAUPAI

ਜਬੈ ਦਤ ਗੁਰੁ ਅਗੈ ਸਿਧਾਰਾ ॥

jabai dat gur agai sidhaaraa |

ਮਛ ਰਾਸਕਰ ਬੈਠਿ ਨਿਹਾਰਾ ॥

machh raasakar baitth nihaaraa |

When Dutt moved forward, then after seeing the swarm of fish, he saw towards the meditating crane

ਉਜਲ ਅੰਗ ਅਤਿ ਧਿਆਨ ਲਗਾਵੈ ॥

aujal ang at dhiaan lagaavai |

ਮੋਨੀ ਸਰਬ ਬਿਲੋਕਿ ਲਜਾਵੈ ॥੧੮੨॥

monee sarab bilok lajaavai |182|

His limbs were extremely white and seeing him all the silence-observing creatures felt shy.182.

ਜੈਸਕ ਧਿਆਨ ਮਛ ਕੇ ਕਾਜਾ ॥

jaisak dhiaan machh ke kaajaa |

ਲਾਵਤ ਬਕ ਨਾਵੈ ਨਿਰਲਾਜਾ ॥

laavat bak naavai niralaajaa |

The meditation that was being observed by the crane, made his name shameful because of his meditativeness for fish

ਭਲੀ ਭਾਤਿ ਇਹ ਧਿਆਨ ਲਗਾਵੈ ॥

bhalee bhaat ih dhiaan lagaavai |

ਭਾਵ ਤਾਸ ਕੋ ਮੁਨਿ ਮਨ ਭਾਵੈ ॥੧੮੩॥

bhaav taas ko mun man bhaavai |183|

He was observing meditation very nicely and with his silence, he was pleasing the sages.183.

ਐਸੋ ਧਿਆਨ ਨਾਥ ਹਿਤ ਲਈਐ ॥

aiso dhiaan naath hit leeai |

ਤਬ ਹੀ ਪਰਮ ਪੁਰਖ ਕਹੁ ਪਈਐ ॥

tab hee param purakh kahu peeai |

If such a medittativeness is observed for the sake of that Lord, He is realized in that way

ਮਛਾਤਕ ਲਖਿ ਦਤ ਲੁਭਾਨਾ ॥

machhaatak lakh dat lubhaanaa |

ਚਤਰਥ ਗੁਰੂ ਤਾਸ ਅਨੁਮਾਨਾ ॥੧੮੪॥

chatarath guroo taas anumaanaa |184|

Seeing the crane, Dutt was allured towards him and he accepted him as his fourth Guru.184.

ਇਤਿ ਮਛਾਤਕ ਚਤੁਰਥ ਗੁਰੂ ਸਮਾਪਤੰ ॥੪॥

eit machhaatak chaturath guroo samaapatan |4|

End of the description of the adoption of Crane as the fourth Guru.
